Common Man – The Kingmaker


Now the elections are over and the much-awaited results are out. All the political parties are shocked and surprised at the results. The so-called leaders have not grasped the intelligence of the Common Man and played the same game as usual, as they used to play in olden days. They have not understood that the gadget using population of India can make a difference through their votes even after listening to their gullible long speeches for hours. Even the Netas tracked the Indian population using every communication channel including the modern Net and made sure that the target population should have seen their vote-request advertisements. The leaders left no stone unturned but they lost in guessing right; why?

It is because of the overconfidence factor that they have projected in their speeches, blatantly drastic acts they did in their constituencies during their regimes, and the underestimation of the intelligence of the Common Man. They insulted Common Man through their ridiculous offers like free money, free power, etc, which are not possible to do so in reality. Even a child has the knowledge nowadays to understand and question the vague promises of the so-called Netas about how they could give when the State itself has been reeling under debt.

The election results indicate that Indians, this time, favored dynasty rule as they did many times before. Although the dynasty point is there but this time they voted for Congress keeping the professional veterans like Manmohan, Chidambaram, etc, in mind hoping that they can deliver what they had promised during their election campaigns.

Let's hope that the so-called professional veterans take India to the next stage where it can be reckoned as one of the potential forces both financially and militarily.
